This beautiful box was designed with neo-classic Louis XVI patterns at the workshop of Bardies-Faure Cie. It was carefully crafted with impeccable details in solid .950/.999 standard sterling silver with gilded interiors finish. Made of circular form and decorated with radiant engine turned guilloche topped with applications of translucent light pink enamel. The lid is decorated on the side and around it with a frieze of foliage scrolls oak leaves and corns. The underneath are treated with engine turned concentric circles of classical patterns.The engraved designs of guilloche are magnificent. Created in the form of five scrolled laurels with striped straight lines running from the center. The craftsmanship of this box is superb and is by far one of the best examples we have ever seen from this famous French maker.

A fact that we want to point out is that the enamel is quite thick, which creates a visual effect of three dimensions.Weight: 131.95 Grams, (84.58 Dwt).Measurements: Diameter of 80.1 mm and a height of 28.7 mm (3.15 x 1.13 Inches).Hallmarks: Stamped with French marks; the maker's mark BFCO with a fleur d'Lys associated to Bardie
